And there's absolutely nothing wrong with rear drums. Perfectly acceptable in a truck.

Every single one I have found has been "pre sold" here in California and oregon.

Does the TRD BRO have drum brakes?
Yes

A $43K truck with drum brakes. Wow.

Nobody seems to care, and Toyota is laughing all the way to the bank. Drum brakes are quite a bit cheaper than disks.

D Griff · Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:53 pm

Is it the last production vehicle with drums available? Even Accents and Elantras have rear discs I think.

And still worth $35k in 3 years.

And has 75% remaining brake life on those shoes.

45 to start, 48 with the slushomatic

max225 · Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:01 am

90% of the braking is done in the front and it comes with 4 piston FIXED calipers.

Well, these all appear to be older 3.6 engines. The engine was updated in 2016 for the Colorado and 6th gen Camaro, then other new 3.6L vehicles after. No idea if the timing chain was "fixed" or not, but there were a number of "improvements" made to that engine. Curious if any 2016+ 3.6 engines are suffering these issues.

I think the issue was fixed with the LFX 3.6.

max225 · Tue Sep 15, 2020 1:23 pm

@fled do you know when the 2021 start production ? I hear they are starting to coming in any week now...

I am trying to see if I can “order” aka get an allocation for a TRD pro but I have no idea for a time line.

Exactly.

I walked a couple laps of the parking lot and I really like how my :truk:

looks.
A ZR2 would be ideal, and correct the little issues I have with my Z71, but that wasn’t in the cards a few years ago.

He did in general, not sure if it was specific to the new 3.6. GM put the old 3.6 in the first 2 years of Colorado/Canyon production.

Im an advocate for drum brakes on the taco. I even supported adding them to the Colorado Work truck trims to pay for cooler shit on ZR2. All engineering tests prove that drum brakes perform just as well on the back of a pickup as disks since the fronts do even more work since there's so little weight on the rear.

Whatever. Clearly I and OEM engineers are morans.

Did you know an elantra has DISCS all around

Also I found a TRD pro at sticker... 1800 miles away. Debating doing that road trip, but I am moving furniture this weekend and my sig other is going to shit a brick if we're in a car/truk for 24 hrs.
